image Lovely Old Time Collection in Two Volume New Imperial Albums, with a mix of mint and used from early classics to about 1936. Most of the countries appear to be present, except for missing Canada and GB. An above average collection with too many better items to list, but we note Antigua to the 3sh (mint), Australia #11 (used), Burma #O14 (used, $240), Cape of Good Hope with 9 triangles plus two fakes, good early Ceylon, Gibraltar #74 (mint $110), useful Hong Kong with 90 stamps, Mauritius #17 (used), lots of India and States, Australia and States including a New South Wales #B1 (used), South Australia #53e (mint, $190) and much more. Many stamps or sets cataloguing up to $100, and many more up to $50, we noted a good quantity of better postmarks throughout. The quality is average to better than usual, and we invite you to view our many representative scans online, or better yet view it in person to better appreciate the value. (Image)

image Collection of Mint and Used on Pages, mostly all in binders, with thousands of stamps and souvenir sheets. Almost every British Commonwealth country is represented, and we note some better stamps such as GB #O36 ($260), O32 ($40), O58 ($52) and 104 ($210) but those are faded or have heavy cancels, early British Guiana ships but these are flawed. None the less, many medium value stamps, lots of topicals, perfins, with very little duplication and potential for watermark or cancel finds. See our many online scans for a taste. (Image)

image Old Time Accumulation of Mostly Used Issues, on stock pages and in glassines. Stamps date up to about the 1940s, and we note better issues from Australian States, Ireland (page with 14 different mint issues overprinted 1922), Caribbean countries, and much more. The many glassines included would benefit from close inspection and we have scanned all the stock pages online. Condition varies, still many useful items throughout. (Image)

image Collection on Pages, 1852 to 1927, mostly all of ship designs, and includes material not counted in the catalogue value such as revenue cancels, reprints, proofs and obvious damaged stamps.

image Carton with Mint and Used Collections of Bulgaria, Romania and Albania, all in albums, on album pages and loose. Best item is a Schaubek album for Bulgaria, 1881 to 1969, with an owner's catalogue value of $3,400. Stamps have been removed, but it is unclear as to whether this was before or after having cataloguing it. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of catalogue value left, see scans. Noted some imperforate issues and much topical interest. JG (Image)
